Alcohol and Other Drug Addiction Treatment and Recovery Program

The View 

The View offers a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental environment for individuals seeking support with addiction, emotional distress and unhelpful coping patterns.  

Our program supports patients to better understand the underlying factors contributing to substance use, develop healthier coping strategies and reconnect with daily life and wellbeing. 

Inpatient treatment

Our inpatient program is offered in two stages: 

The Foundation

Foundation programs provide you with essential base skills and comprehensive assessment and, where clinically appropriate, access to medically supported detox to help you safely begin your recovery journey.  Foundation programs are based on psychoeducation, incorporating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles to support managing distress, overcoming and addressing symptoms of mood and addiction.

Our admissions and assessment team will work with you to explore your options and ensure you are in placed in the most suitable foundation program.

The Foundation program is a minimum three-week inpatient stay and is recommended prior to progressing to the next stage, Maintenance and Relapse Prevention.

Enhancing Resilience: Maintenance and Relapse Prevention

Following completion of The Foundation program, the Enhancing Resilience program focuses on recovery from addiction and substance dependence. The structured three-week program is based on Positive Psychology, which uses individual strengths, psychoeducation and relapse prevention strategies to support long-term recovery and resilience. During your three-week stay with us, you will gain skills to help you:

• Manage mental health, improve emotional regulation, cope with stress and boost wellbeing.
• Apply the PERMA-H model (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment and Health) to enhance your daily mental wellness.
• Strengthen resilience by focusing on your strengths and developing coping strategies for stress and relapse prevention.
• Use therapeutic skills to maintain recovery, prevent relapse and promote long-term mental health.  
• Develop an aftercare plan to support your recovery beyond hospital admission.

All our programs integrate evidence-based, trauma-informed treatment with complementary therapies such as mindfulness, movement therapy, creative therapies, horticulture and wellbeing activities to support whole-person recovery.

Recovery is not one and done. Once you have completed your inpatient stay, we work alongside you to develop a plan for ongoing support, connection and continued healing. 

Day programs

Our day programs are designed to help patients continue building the skills and confidence needed to maintain recovery and support long-term wellbeing.

Dual Diagnosis  

Our Dual Diagnosis program runs one day per week for 24 weeks and incorporates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and psychoeducation to strengthen coping strategies, emotional resilience and relapse prevention skills.

The program is offered both in-person and virtually for people living regionally or unable to attend onsite.

The day program may be suitable:

• Following an inpatient admission to support transition back into everyday life while maintaining therapeutic support and connection.  
• For individuals seeking support with addiction, emotional regulation or relapse prevention where an inpatient admission is not clinically required.  
• For people wanting to better understand the relationship between stress, emotional wellbeing and substance use while developing healthier coping strategies.
